From the Wing Luke Museum’s mission statement: “We are about getting our communities involved in their own stories but also building bridges to other communities.”

The museum won the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Award for Museum Service in 1995 as a result of their unique work in involving the community in building exhibitions which would serve to educate and enlighten all.

In addition to Family Day and Teen programs, Wing Luke hosts Tateuchi Story Theater each month for all ages. There is so much for educators at the museum as well. You can follow the links on the resource page to explore further.

We’re honored to be given the opportunity to share images of the murals gracing the walls of the center, along with their historical background and symbolism here. We’ll be adding this piece to our resources soon.
